Snoop Dogg releases musical tribute in honor of Kobe Bryant at ESPYS

A Sunday that began with heartfelt Father’s Day posts to the late Kobe Bryant ended with a powerful tribute from fellow Los Angeles icon Snoop Dogg on the ESPYS.

As many expected, ESPN’s awards show — held a month earlier than usual and via remote video — made sure to take a moment to remember the Los Angeles Lakers legend, who died in January with his daughter and seven others in a tragic helicopter crash.

Featuring extensive footage from Bryant’s storied career, the song was a powerful reminder of the meaning Bryant held for many throughout Los Angeles and the world.
